That would be none other than “Mall Cop” star Kevin James, who debuts Monday night in the CBS TV series, “Kevin Can Wait.” The show doesn’t seem that much different from his earlier TV hit, “King Of Queens”: It’s another domestic comedy with James in a familiar mode. In the earlier series, he played a delivery driver. Now, he’s a retired cop.

The show has been getting early reviews from “basic boilerplate” to “awful,” but James has no need to worry. He can always fall back on his sideline in house flipping.

Earlier this year, James sold his Delray Beach property at 502 N. Ocean Blvd. for $26.38 million. In 2012, he only paid $18.5 million for the Mediterranean Revival home, plus about $4 million for a nearby piece of land, according to reports. That’s a tidy $3 million-plus profit!
